Rocket Surgeon is a boutique effects pedal label founded by Carey Nordstrand as an offshoot of Nordstrand Audio, the Redlands, California pickup and preamp maker. The pedals are designed and hand-assembled in small batches, often released under playful personas like "Dr. Von Fuzzbrauer" and "Dr. Vatone," with custom artwork and signed enclosures that lean into the brand's mad-scientist aesthetic.

The lineup spans both guitar and bass applications. Notable pedals include the Boris, a four-transistor Big Muff-style fuzz with a Nuclear/Doom mid-voicing switch; the Seratone, a bass-focused fuzz; the Ice Caves ambient reverb with an Ambience toggle between reverb and delay voicings; the Astro Rock-it low-gain overdrive; and the StarLifter bass preamp/DI, which features a three-band EQ with sweepable mids and a flat/vintage/modern contour switch.

Rocket Surgeon occupies a small-batch, builder-driven niche rather than a mass-market one, and the pedals are sold primarily through Nordstrand Audio's own storefront and select dealers alongside Reverb.

Rocket Surgeon has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Bass Effects Pedals.
